The sulfurous thermal water flows from two large taps inside the colonnaded structure, and while the smell might take some getting used to, many visitors come to experience the healing properties of the water.
Historically, Aachen has been famous for its thermal baths since Roman times, and the Elisenbrunnen continues this tradition. The structure itself, with its elegant columns and spacious design, is a peaceful spot to relax or take a break while exploring the city. It’s a great place to learn about Aachen’s spa culture, with plaques that detail its history.
